To hip and hop and never stop,
The bouncy frog jumps to flop.
Grassland dead ends to cement junction.
On sunny days these roads don’t function.
The pavement gets so stupid hot;
The frog is sure to dry and rot.
Surely there is something to do!
Panic rises; he sees a shrew.
Is it friend, or is it foe?
Mr.Frog just wants to go!
The sunlit sidewalk makes searing pain.
Though, suddenly it starts to rain!
The shrew dislikes his wet feet.
Into the grasslands, he retreats.
From here the frog can hop along.
In the downpour, he belongs.
His froggy feet now feel relief.
Though this calm is quite brief.
Slithering by is a garter snake.
Mr.Frog has started to shake.
He fears he’ll be a froggy steak.
He is frozen, except for his quake.
Miss Snake is suffering a stomach ache.
This tasty frog she just can’t take.
Even though he’s nice and yummy–
He’ll cause a rupture in her tummy.
It makes her sad and pretty dull;
But, she is just much too full.
She squiggles quickly right on through.
Into the grassland, she went too.
Despite dysfunction, he defeats obstruction.
He ventures through cement junction.
He’s made it past the treacherous path.
The frog now leaps into a bath.
The rain creates warm mud puddles.
A sweet reward to end his troubles.
